Okay, anyone else have a gripe about a ridiculous product placement ruining your suspension of disbelief? Anyone?

I was watching “The Matrix Reloaded” Friday evening and found myself laughing at an obvious promo. I then recalled this thread so I thought I’d contribute.

The chase scene in “Reloaded”: Morpheus, Trinity and the key maker come flying out of the parking garage in the new Cadiliac “sports” car. The Caddy crest/ logo was damn near center-screen for a cool 3-4 seconds in slo-mo.

Also, the two albino rastafari guys were in hot pursuit in, you guessed it, a new caddy Escalade. It is also interesting to note all the competitors, er I mean bystander cars (BMW, for instance) that get trashed so prominently :wink:[/quote]

Lol, I also noticed this exactly. Only took 4-6 bullets to incapacitate the other cars, while Trinity and the Wraith Twins took about 1500 rounds.

24 does it too. Think they’re Fords.
